The Neo Geo lasted longer, with some of its top tier franchises still being released on the system in 2004.

Even if I accept the 1990-2004 lifespan, that is still only as long as the Genesis lasted. And considering SNK went bankrupt in 2001, I would argue that if 2001-2004 counts on the Neo-Geo, 2002-2007+ ought to count for the Genesis and 1998-2007+ for the Master System.

Dude, what country do you live in where the Geneis came out in 2002 and the Master System in 1998?


Allow me to quote myself:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Mega_Drive
"Globally the Sega Mega Drive and games began production in Japan in 1988 and ended with the last new game being released in 2002 in Brazil."
"The Mega Drive is still manufactured in Brazil, with many games built into the console."
So I clearly meant that the Mega Drive had an undisputed life of 1988-2002 and a disputable additional life extending from 2002 out into the future.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Master_System
(released in 1986)
"The last commercial licensed release in Brazil was Sonic Blast, released by Tec Toy on 1998. The Master System is still being produced in Brazil."
Same thing.


I'm sorry but you clearly said 1998, not 1988 and 2002, not 1992. Don't make your mistake my problem.


Yes I did say 1998, as in "The Master System lasted from 1986 to 1998 AND THEN from 1998 to 2007 and onwards."  You obviously have a reading comprehension problem, and I would appreciate not being blamed for your resultant misunderstandings. 

The Neo-Geo did not start production in 2001; the Master System did not start production in 1998; the Genesis did not start production in 2002.  These are the dates that the systems officially died but actually have somewhat lived on after.  This is quite obvious from the context and previous posts, both of which are quoted above.  Please reread them until you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth keyboard.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
